An introduction?

'What made you turn your back to God?'

'When did you decide to become an atheist?'



If you are an atheist, I bet you've heard questions like this on numerous occasions. As a young, just-recently-out-of-the-closet-atheist, I sure have. This post is dedicated to those who ask questions like these.
